What are the signs of intestinal polyps?

The incidence of intestinal polyps has been relatively high in recent years, which has a lot to do with people's eating habits. For example, people often like to eat greasy food, which will increase the burden on the intestines. When intestinal polyps appear, they will cause certain symptoms. Understanding the symptoms of these diseases will help to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Only in this way can we avoid causing greater harm to our health.

First, there is blood in the stool.

Many young people have irregular diet and daily life, and usually suffer from constipation or bloody stools. If bleeding still occurs after one week of self-medication, or if symptoms recur after improvement with medication, you should highly suspect the possibility of intestinal polyps and go to the hospital for examination in time.

Second, bowel habits and characteristics change.

If you normally have normal bowel movements but suddenly notice changes such as your stool becoming thinner, having grooves, or containing mucus, or if you used to have bowel movements once a day but now have bowel movements once every two or three days or two or three times a day, you need to pay attention.

Third, constipation and diarrhea.

People with long-term diarrhea and constipation habits, if drug treatment is ineffective, need further examination to rule out the possibility of colon polyps.

Fourth, abdominal pain.

Some people who suffer from long-term abdominal pain may also develop intestinal polyps. Such people should undergo colonoscopy as soon as possible and then receive symptomatic treatment after excluding colon polyps.

To sum up, the above are common early symptoms of intestinal polyps. Experts remind that if intestinal polyps are not treated early, they may become cancerous and endanger the patient's life. Therefore, if you find the above discomfort symptoms in your daily life, you should be vigilant and seek examination and treatment as soon as possible.
